Against the seductive backdrop of Koh Samui’s Chaweng Beach, The Library reads like an elegant monograph – a beachfront hotel that invites one to sit with a book in quiet contemplation while also weaving its own story of natural beauty and unmatched luxury.

With just 46 studios, suites and pool villas spread over 12,800 square meters of land, this minimalist resort provides ample space to read, roam, and reflect.

THE WRITER
The enduring design philosophy of The Library is that of minimalism, and The Writer subverts that narrative with a play of contrasts – a merging of flamboyant interiors and sharp-lined exteriors, a juxtaposition of the modern and the exotic, a melting pot of Western and Eastern sensibilities.

Borne from the imaginative mind of owner, Kasemtham Sornsong, this 359-square-meter pool villa stands as a singular bold statement of a well-traveled working creative.

Key features include an absolute beach frontage and access, a custom-made 11-feet-wide bed, living and dining spaces, library, outdoor cinema, courtyard with private gym and Jacuzzi, an upper floor terrace with spectacular views and an 8.5 x 7.5-meter saltwater swimming pool.

The Writer is the largest and most exclusive pool villa available at The Library and is for adults only.

THE EDITOR
In a profoundly evocative and romantic atmosphere, The Editor’s core ethos is revealed through its obdurate focus on “emotion”. Interior designer, Tirawan Songsawat lends her artistic vision in creating a special space for traveling couples where every room has a specific scenario.

A beautiful palette of seductive red hues awakens the passion and verdant green tones soothe the senses.

Key features include a custom-made 11-feet wide bed with mood lighting, full dining area with pantry, dedicated reading room, outdoor sala, a spacious Jacuzzi bathtub and an 8-meter-long saltwater swimming pool. The Editor is a bespoke 278-square-meter villa for 2 adults.

2-BEDROOM SECRET POOL VILLA
Ideal for family vacations and longer stays, the 2-Bedroom Secret Pool Villas offers the exclusivity of a private home, with spacious comfort for hosting two couples traveling together or a group of friends.

In addition to an expansive 10-meter long saltwater swimming pool and equally roomy triple king-size beds, the 2-bedroom villa also features a private gym equipped with a treadmill machine and body weights.

EXOTIC SUITE
Relish your private time in one of our beautifully-appointed Exotic Suites designed to offer quiet comfort, pure pleasure and deep relaxation.

A wide uncluttered area is provided for the main bedroom, and an adjoining open-air patio invites the sweep of gentle trade winds through rustic wooden shutters.

Stretch out in our spacious Jacuzzi bathtub for a soothing soak, and retire to a bed of your own favorite cushions from our extensive “Pillow Menu”.

Located on the ground floor, the Exotic Suite is an ideal choice for guests who prefer to stay close to the earth and require a suitable space to read and write during their stay.

THE PAGE
Holding fort on the beachfront is The Library’s iconic restaurant, The Page. With a menu offering of Thai and international fusion and a host of “Original Experiences” found nowhere else, the renowned venue has inevitably made its mark on Koh Samui’s upscale dining scene.

Enjoy the sunrise with a signature “Breakfast Culture” on the beach or a light casual lunch overlooking the sea. Then chill out at the Beach Bar with its 101 unique cocktails and live music during Happy Hours. As evening sets, explore the innovative cuisines available for a fine dinner engagement.

TURNING A NEW PAGE

On the menu is a curated collection of rare, old-kingdom Thai cuisine which are now absent in contemporary dining tables. These are hard-to-find, original recipes, but with a decidedly modern and creative presentation.

The Page also introduces the concept of “Samrab Thai,” which combines the 8 distinct flavor and texture profiles of traditional Thai cooking into a majestic dinner feast that’s meant to be shared.

DRINK GALLERY
The Drink Gallery is a unique dining platform unseen in Koh Samui. It’s an island first – an upmarket bar and restaurant where one can sip on an amazing drink, groove to some tunes and still hear each other speak.

Facing Chaweng Beach Road, the Drink Gallery stays true to the stylish and art-inspired aesthetics The Library is famous for.

A medley of seating such as wooden benches, chairs and stools make up the playful setting, and a long teak wood table at the center invites up to 14 people to drink and mingle over an exquisite home-style feast.

The restaurant has both a sense of casualness and a sophisticated quality. Its approach on food is artistic simplicity with a homey feel, while the drinks are tastefully layered, whimsical and form-breaking worthy of a night’s discussion.

Newly introduced is an alfresco bar-venue called the Tapas Bar where one can sample a host of authentic Thai tapas cuisine at affordable prices, and Rot Padthai – a brass-clad outdoor kitchen serving a variety of padthai dishes. There’s daily live entertainment, except on Mondays.

MIX IT UP

Our brilliant mixologist whips up a motley set of liquid poetry from his extensive insights on fine ingredients and the culinary arts. A dash of vodka. A thimble of fresh juice. A pinch of rosemary. All crowned with an elderflower-scented citrus espuma.

Whola, the perfect Ambrosial! It takes great alchemical skills to create such wonderfully eye-catching cocktails, which are equally satisfying to the palate. With over 40 signature cocktails on the menu, there’s always one more drink to try before calling it a night.

SWIM, READ, PLAY
A morning dip at the pool turns literary as The Library opens up access to its impressive collection of books to read amidst relaxing views of the beautiful sea beyond.

Or snazz up your holiday routine with a visit to The Fit before hitting the sand. Kayak, windsurf equipment and paddle boards are also available to borrow.

RED POOL
Unwind by The Library’s signature red swimming pool with the lulling warm breeze of Chaweng Beach beyond. Selected as one the most spectacular hotel pools in the world by Tripadvisor and Conde Nast, the Red Pool, with its mosaic tiles of orange, yellow and red, presents a dazzling spectacle of brilliant color and style.

THE LIB
The theme building of The Library is named The Lib, with its curated collection of over 1400 books to leaf through and an array of movies and music CDs of various genres to enjoy.

Minimalist alabaster-white interiors coupled with stunning views of the sea and the Red Pool provide picture-perfect backdrops to an afternoon of light reading and relaxed entertainment.

THE FIT
Being on holiday doesn’t mean skipping on your fitness routine. Whether it be a quick aerobic workout or a full-scale bodybuilding regimen, The Fit has the necessary modern equipment to keep the heart pumping or to highlight that perfect washboard abs.
